same setup volvo wise, so it would be a straight auto v manual test.
Yeah it would be great to do a side by side comparison, i'd expect the manual to be quicker obviously, but it
would be interesting to see 1st hand how much quicker it is.
I often have days of during the week so if you're ever at a loose end and your car is on the road drop me an
e-mail and we can do some basic tests.
A few side by side tests 0-60 and then say side by side at 30mph and then floor it to 70mph to see how they
differ in that speed range.
I guess the auto will mainly loose out on the 0-15mph as the gearing in 1st seems quite tall and the torque
converter isn't 100% efficient + obviously there are only 3 ratios to choose from.
I'm going to do a much needed oil change on Monday and then do a couple of other tests with the camera
fixed on the speedo.
off topic, but which filter do I need from Halfords and what oil? 100% synthetic?
